Player Comments:

  • "A really enjoyable match played on a windy Sunday afternoon. The first set was very competitive with most games going to deuce. Angie got into her stride in the second set and had a good chance of winning it at 5 - 3. Somehow I managed to claw back a couple of games and got it to 5 all. I won the next game, but we had run out of time on the court. We dashed off to Sprowston to finish and had to play on the grass courts. The bounce was really unpredictable, but it was fun! I finally got the second set on a tie break, but probably more through luck than skill! Looking forward to playing again sometime Angie. "  -- Susan

Player Comments:

  • "Lovely to meet and play Angie on a lovely dry Friday evening at Waterloo Park. The first game was a deuce game, the first game of the second set was a deuce game and the last game was a deuce game - it was a theme throughout the whole match, it was a lot closer than the score would suggest. Much respect to Angie for driving over 5 hours in the rain to get to the match in the first place. Thanks Angie, it was good fun."  -- Linda

Reveal CommentAngie Rusbridge bt Carolina Olave (Jul 30) 7-6 (7-5), 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "We had a great game - either of us could have won the first set as it was close the whole time with both of us returning well and breaking each others serve. Tiebreak was so close too. Great to meet you for the first time Carolina - the ice cream afterwards was well deserved after playing on a sticky, humid afternoon. "  -- Angie

Reveal CommentAngie Rusbridge bt Maggie Finck (Jul 9) 6-1, 7-6 (7-2)

Player Comments:

  • "We started in the rain and I got off to a good start in the first set. Maggie took the lead in the second set and the sun came out. We had several very long games and lots of deuces, the momentum going back and forth. We both had chances to serve for the set but ended up at 6 all and a tiebreaker. Really enjoyable match - lots of longer points and Maggie had me running all over the court. Time to put our feet up now and watch some more Wimbledon! "  -- Angie
Reveal CommentMaggie Finck bt Julie Cooper (Jul 5) 1-6, 7-5, [10-8]

Player Comments:

  • "Despite the score in the first set I think almost every game went to deuce. The second set was the same in terms of deuce games, but I did manage to win a share of the ad points resulting in a tighter score to level things up. We had to stop for a rain shower at 5-4 (deuce) in the second set, fortunately we were able to take shelter on the pavilion veranda until it stopped. We stepped back on to court tentatively to complete the set and then both decided to chance it and play a tie-break to finish. Lovely to play singles with you Julie, it's been a while. Thanks."  -- Maggie

Reveal CommentMaggie Finck bt Susan Pollock (Jun 30) 4-6, 6-2, 7-5

Player Comments:

  • "Sue and I had a very close match with each of us getting a nose ahead at times. I had a run of luck in the second set making fewer mistakes for a few games. The third set was much tighter and could easily have gone either way. Really good fun, glad it wasn't too hot as it was a long one with plenty of running around. Thanks for playing."  -- Maggie
Reveal CommentLinda May bt Susan Pollock (Jun 24) 7-6 (7-3), 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "For over 2 hours we battled in the heat, it was gruelling. After some very long games I managed to secure the first set but only on a tie break. The second set was a bit easier but the whole match was very close, as close as the weather. Thanks for a great match Susan."  -- Linda
Reveal CommentLinda May bt Maggie Finck (Jun 23) 6-4, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "We slogged it out in the heat for two hours, spending some time on a couple of long deuce games and additional rests at change of ends. With the court booked and parking running out, not to mention the heat, we decided to stop and finish off later. Great match so far..."  -- Maggie
  • "Maggie and I resumed this match on 12th Jully with Maggie to serve first. I broke the serve then we had a long game on my serve where Maggie was challenging strongly. Luckily I held and managed another break for the set and match. We only just managed to finish before the heavens opened. Thanks Maggie, lovely to play with you again."  -- Linda
